FAQs

Are the Saucony Trainer 80 suitable for running?

While inspired by running heritage, the Trainer 80 is primarily designed for casual wear and light activity. For intense running or athletic training, consider Saucony's dedicated running shoe lines.

How do I clean the suede parts of the shoes?

Gently brush away dry dirt with a suede brush. For stains, use a specialized suede cleaner or a slightly damp cloth with mild soap. Always allow to air dry.

What is the primary benefit of the EVA midsole?

The full-length EVA midsole provides lightweight cushioning and shock absorption, contributing to all-day comfort.

Can I wear these shoes in wet conditions?

The treaded outsole offers reliable grip, but the mesh and suede materials are not waterproof. They are suitable for light moisture, but heavy rain or prolonged wet conditions are not recommended.

What kind of socks are best to wear with these trainers?

Any type of casual socks will work. For a snugger fit, thinner socks may be preferred. For a looser fit, medium-weight socks can be used.

How does the Trainer 80 differ from modern Saucony running shoes?

The Trainer 80 focuses on heritage style and casual comfort, featuring simpler cushioning and support. Modern Saucony running shoes incorporate advanced technologies for specific performance needs, such as enhanced stability, energy return, and specialized cushioning.

Troubleshooting

Shoes feel too tight

Ensure you have the correct size. Wear with thinner socks or allow a short break-in period. Laces can be adjusted for a custom fit.

Suede appears dirty or matted

Use a suede brush to restore the nap. For tougher stains, consult specialized suede cleaning products and follow their instructions carefully.

Lack of cushioning after initial wear

The EVA midsole is designed for consistent comfort. If you experience a significant loss of cushioning, ensure you are not exceeding the intended use, which is primarily casual wear and light activity.

Traction feels reduced

Check the outsole for debris or embedded objects. Clean the outsole with a damp cloth. If the tread is significantly worn down, consider replacing the shoes.
